Getting Home

Mackenzie was very excited to ride home in the car with Aubrey next to her in the pumpkin seat. It was a very exciting day! One thing is for sure--Kenzie doesn't like it when lil' sis cries! We have tried explaining to her that that is how babies express themselves. Once we got home Mackenzie was eager to show Aubrey around the house, especially each of their rooms. Whenever she leaves and comes back home, the first thing she does is check on Aubrey--too cute! As the days go, Kenzie is getting more used to having a baby around and always wants to be where the baby is at. She is also starting to want to help out more and get things when needed.

The two sisters!

This is the little doggie that Mackenzie brought Aubrey as a welcoming gift--I looked all over for the soft feel of an animal like this!

This is the same size as Kenzie at this age. Wow!

Just Chillin'.

First Purdue Game

I had to take pictures of Aubrey's first Purdue game. Even though we did not win, it was still fun to dress her up in her Purdue.

Our newest Little Boiler Babe!

Aubrey is doing very well....I will be updating soon on her first doctor visit and stats. I also have some cute pics of her and Kenzie hanging out after we got home the first day.

Two Days old

Here are a few new pictures of our new baby girl....Enjoy!

Amazing how much better we are doing after #2! I will put up some pics later of us going home with big sis!

Happy Birthday Aubrey!

Our sweet girl is finally here! She arrived at 1:30 this afternoon. She weighed in at 8lbs 6oz and is 21 1/4 inches long. Big sis was 8lbs 9oz and about 20 inches long so they were similar in size. Labor and delivery went much quicker and easier this time around, which made it easier for mommy! We are all doing well and enjoying our new bundle of joy. She looks a lot like Mackenzie did as a newborn with lighter hair. Aubrey's hair isn't as long either.

Happy Birthday Aubrey Marye!

The proud big sis!

A special mommy/daughter moment.

Daddy and his new princess.

The proud parents!

Nothing like a babys soft skin.

Goodness, already holding her head up by herself!

She is a very content little girl...nothing like holding a newborn baby in our arms.

Night before Delivery

We wanted to get a few pictures of the 3 of us before baby sis arrives and we become a happy family of 4. Check these out!

Mackenzie is so excited to meet her little sister! Mommy and Daddy are so excited to meet our new little baby girl!

I will update more tommorow once she arrives and will update as often as I can with pictures for everyone to enjoy!

Preschool Fall Party

What fun! I am so glad I got to help out at Mackenzie's fall party at school. It was a lot of fun and something special to do with her before Miss Aubrey gets here tommorow. She got to make a pumpkin magnet, pin the parts on the pumpkin, read books, eat snack and play BINGO. I got some great pictures and it was neat to see her interact with her friends. I can tell she is really enjoying school and that makes us very happy!

Making her pumpkin magnet.

The final product--Beautiful!

Decorating her cookie for snack.

Putting the parts on the pumpkin.

This is how she did--Wow! Even though she was blindfolded, wonder if she was peeking?

Story stations all about pumpkins.

Enjoying her snack--it was the cookie that she decorated.

All in all, it was a great party and all the kids seemed to really enjoy themselves!

Children's Museum Haunted House

It's that time of year again--Time for haunted houses (at least at the Children's Museum with the lights on). Mackenzie was excited to go as we hadn't been in awhile, plus it was a perk that she got to wear her Halloween costume. Grandma came with us too, as I am moving pretty slow right now but wanted to have some fun with her and make sure she got to go to the haunted house. Kenzie was a little more scared this year than usual, which kind of surprised me. She braved it and made it through though.

Anyone know who this is? For those of you who don't, I will be sharing the answer on the Halloween post.

Of course, we also visited many other parts of the museum: science works (she got to build a boat), the carousel, playscape, etc. It was a fun day but tiring for me! Four more days til we meet our new baby girl! Bright and early Tuesday morning! I am sure I will be doing lots of posts in the coming days!

Fall Fun and baby news update

Hello Everyone! Long time no blog! We have been quite busy at our house! Mackenzie loves jumping in the leaves and grandma and grandpa always get a lot of them at their house. Here are some fun pictures of her and I playing in a big pile of leaves.

The pictures speak for themselves-she had a blast. She also got to take a little road trip to see some hay bales decorated for Halloween--check these out!

It is always fun to see Halloween decorations--especially when they involve pumpkins and scarecrows!

Other news: Little Miss Aubrey will be here soon! Yay! If she does not come on her own before, then I will be getting induced the 26th--9 days!! I am measuring for her to be as big as or bigger than Mackenzie so we will be having another big baby! Big sis is very excited to meet little sis! So are mommy and daddy! We love you baby Bree!

The Pumpkin Patch

We wanted to make sure to get Mackenzie to the Pumpkin Patch this year. With it being so close to baby time, Jim took her himself (didn't think the bumpy wagon ride would be such a good idea for me). I missed not going this year, but look forward to next year when we can all 4 go! Here are some pictures that they got from the afternoon! It was a chilly day but wanted to make sure to get to the patch early enough in the month that there were still a good supply of pumpkins!

On the wagon ride going to the "patch".

Lovin' the hay ride!

Another cute daddy/daughter pic!

The Big Cheese!

Three pumpkins--one more makes four!

Of course, she had to have a turn in the Bounce House!

They had a great time and for the first time this year we have four pumpkins! Kenzie picked out 2 little ones and Jim picked out 2 bigger ones! So excited to meet our new little pumpkin!

In other news, Kenzie is doing great in preschool and really enjoys it! She has school pictures this week, her first field trip next week, and her fall party in a few weeks! We have a lot going on this month! We also have Jim's birthday on Tuesday--Mackenzie already gave him his gift--she thought it was very important for daddy to have a blue car because blue is for boys(we got him a blue matchbox car that she is sleeping with right now).

I am 36 weeks pregnant (as of last Friday). I am measuring at 40 weeks pregnant, which means my due date does not change I just have a big baby! From here on out I will be seeing the doctor every week. Very exciting as things are getting closer to time! I am pretty much packed for the hospital, minus toiletries. With number 2 you never know! Better to be prepared! We will keep everyone updated!
